@poshreany – yes, I expect that The Following’s ratings will be in descent. For the record, I thought it was solid but don’t know if it can sustain that level for a whole season. I’m already not buying the personality cult thing and I find the magic-powered antagonist to be a cheap and tiresome cop-out.

@steviem – with that convoluted reasoning (special pleading) you could fly the flag for the NRL. Will you be including NZ ratings as well?

We won’t find out how many people watched PTTR and The Following for a week until the consolidated figures are out.

The Following was also repeated last night and is listed for another repeat on Gem on Friday night. It’s regular nights is Wednesday up against Criminal Minds and Mr & Mrs Murder though, not PTTR.

There are a lot of dramas on at 8:35pm Sun to Wed at the moment so it is tough and there will be a lot of recording. But yes Nine would have been hoping for higher figures and that Arrow will do better next week.

Not surprised MKR is being beaten, and convincingly. I’ve completely switched off it. I was a massive fan, but when the gate crashers came in, my interest waned. I cannot stand Ashlee and Sophia and their rude bitchiness and as a result have completely turned off now. Watched WDYTYA last night instead. On ya Seven for ruining a great show. They’ve dragged it out, and combined with poor casting it’s unwatchable now.

Shame Rafters ep was down on numbers, it was one of its strongest eps i reckon. Great ensemble work especially Ryan Corr & Brooke Satchwell and Rebecca with Michael Caton. There is some life left in the old girl (the show i mean)

The Voice cracks the 2 million mark, which is a great effort for the show and Nine. (note… i am just a few who don’t watch the show. lol) But good on Nine, i say.

A shame that Who Do you Think You Are couldn’t squeeze into the top 20 last week. I thought that showing Golden Girl at the moment (Asher Keddie) would have helped. It was perfect timing for the show to put her up this week. I wonder how it rated.

Also just wondering about the ACA figures David. Do you know if those figures are from 6:30-7pm or it’s actual broadcast time of 6:32-7:07pm. I get the feeling Nine are deliberately running it late to boost its figures because last week with TBBT repeats as it’s lead out it managed to finish at 7pm on the dot.
